Meh, religion isn't going to go away..it's just going to continue changing, as it has been doing since we first dreamt it up. Personally, I hope that religion takes a different road as it continues to change from this point forward. A tolerant and welcoming faith, an honest faith divorced from grand claims of knowledge, a faith which invests itself in fact, rather than denies it. This, imo, is the direction faith is headed -kicking and screaming-, and it's a good direction. The type of faith that my children's generation (and perhaps even one of my children) will hold will not be the faith of their fathers. Simply never -has- been.
Faith will continue to be with us, the question isn't so much what role it will have, as it is...what sort of faith can fulfill the role that it -already has-.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
